The Android Wear powered smartwatch will go on sale in select T-Mobile retail stores November 19th for $299.99.The device will go on sale online later this month. AT&T launched the G Watch R on November 5th alongside the Moto 360. The G Watch R rocks a 1.3 inch P-OLED display, 4GB of internal memory, a 410mAh battery, 9-axis sensors, accelerometer and compass.

The G Watch R wearable from LG is launching on Sprint in the United States on November 14.Sprint has revealed the wearable will be available for its customers this week, though people can already pick up the new LG smartwatch from the Google Play Store for $300.LG’s wearable comes with a Snapdragon 400 processor, 512 MB of RAM, a 410 mAh battery, and 4 GB of storage. Since the G Watch R is more useful when worn throughout the day, it is water-resistant, allowing users to wash their hands without ruining the device.

Motorola’s Android Wear powered Moto 360 received some new goodies last weekend, including some new watchfaces, a new Moto body wellness experience and support for Motorola Keylink.You can even create your own watchface design using the updated version of Motorola Connect.If you’ve got the most recent version of Motorola Connect installed then you’re good to go with the new watchfaces.

Plenty of retailers and carriers have jumped on the Motorola Moto 360 bandwagon early, even though stocks were limited back in the day and waiting times excruciatingly long. AT&T is picking up the beautiful timepiece, and selling it at $249.When purchased together, the 360 + Moto X, the bundle is discounted by $50. So, you can think of the smartwatch going for $149 instead of $240. Or the handheld selling for $49, not $99.

If you're looking for a selection of smartwatches with a round dial, you might want to check out a nearby AT&T store by the end of this week. The nation's second largest carrier will be offering the LG G Watch R, and the Motorola Moto 360.The LG G Watch R will be available from AT&T's online store on November 5th, and can be purchased at the mobile operator's brick and mortar stores starting on November 7th.

Motorola is working on a gold version of its smart watch, the Moto 360. That device has been caught briefly on Amazon only to be pulled down from the site moments afterwards.Apparently — and judging by the leaked images — the Moto 360 has been spotted in 18 mm and 23 mm golden metal straps, with the price tag of $299.99 for both strap sizes.If you, on the other hand, prefer something more standard, there will be another 360 variant with a silver main body and brown leather cognac straps.

Motorola already rolled out an autonomy-improving software goodie pack last month, and now, they’re getting a piece of the Android Wear 4.4.W.2 updating action as well.This one comes straight from Google and made its way to LG’s G Watch first, but Motorola tinkered with it a little so as 360 owners can get the most of their beautiful timepieces. As such, you’ll be getting generic bug fixes, some user interface tweaks and, above all, new smart battery saving functions.

LG’s Android Wear powered LG G Watch R is coming to the U.K. tomorrow for £224.99 from Clove.It’s a round-faced smartwatch with a premium look, clearly set to take on the Moto 360. LG is promising better battery life than other Android Wear devices and an always-on display. It also touts a heart rate monitor, stainless steel body, a 1.3 inch P-OLED display and a 410mAh battery.

LG seems to be facing an uphill struggle in spreading the beautiful G Watch R to all territories it’s wanted in.According to a third-party retail partners, the G Watch R will go on sale in the old continent in the opening stages of November. More precisely, during the November 3-7 interval.Only LG hinted at the thing’s recommended retail price not long ago, and all signs point to the €299 tag holding water.

LG may be working on a webOS-based smart watch. The Korean company said it will use the platform it acquired from HP on its smart TVs, but it looks like they are preparing to bring it to wearables, as well.Details are scarce at the moment and all we have is a teaser at LG’s developer website suggesting that a webOS SDK for smart watches is in works.No dates were given, but if the SDK is out by the end of this year, we expect the first smart watch to hit the market at some in 2015.
